  1. 16. Developing a Cost Model For Combined Offshore Farms : The Advantages of Co-Located Wind and Wave Energy

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Eva Blech; [2023]
    Keywords : Wave Energy; Floating Offshore Wind; Co-located Wind-Wave Farm; Levelized Cost of Energy; Multi-Source Offshore Farm; Vågenergi; flytande havsbaserad vindkraft; samlokaliserad vind- och vågpark; nivellerad energikostnad; havsbaserad park med flera källor;

    Abstract : Previous research has displayed that multi-source farms provide an opportunity to reduce the cost of energy and improve the energy output quality. This thesis assesses the cost competitiveness of co-located wind-wave farms, specifically floating offshore wind (FLOW) turbines and CorPower’s wave energy converters (WEC). READ MORE

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Kajsa Frost; [2023]
    Keywords : Polybrominated diphenyl ether; PBDE; BDE; hexabromocyclododecane; HBCDD; Temporal trends; Flame retardants; Baltic grey seal; Halichoerus grypus; Eurasian otter; Lutra lutra; Intestinal ulcers; BDE-47; BDE-99; BDE-100; BDE-153; BDE-154; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) are brominated flame retardants. These compounds are lipophilic, persistent and have been shown to bioaccumulate. READ MORE

  4. 18. Gillnet Fishing in Costa Rica's Gulf of Nicoya : An Analysis of Target Catch and Artisanal Fishermen's Perceptions in the Marine Area for Responsible Fishing Paquera - Tambor

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

    Author : Theo Friström; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The gulf of Nicoya is one of the most productive estuaries in the world and is home to many artisanal fishermen who rely on the gulf as both an economical source but also a way of feeding their families. The Marine Protected Area (MPA) named “Marine area for responsible fishing Paquera – Tambor” is located between Paquera and Tambor on the Nicoya peninsula on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.

  5. 19. Temporal Projections of the Shoreline Displacement on Gotland

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Yonathan Tekeste; [2023]
    Keywords : Sea Level Rise; Shoreline Displacement; Gotland;

    Abstract : Global mean sea level rise (GMSLR) impacts the displacement of the world’s coasts and shorelinedifferently due to it being contingent on local topographic and geological conditions. The island of Gotlandis located in the Fennoscandian Shield which lies at the intersection between GMSLR and post-glacialrebound (PGR), at rates that vary latitudinally and, in some areas, are at equal levels.

  6. 20. Investigating surface spring snow : Changes in the isotopic composition and conductivity along an orographic precipitation gradient in northern Fennoscandia

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Sara Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : stable isotopes; snow; precipitation; hydrology; orography; earth science;

    Abstract : Stable isotopes of oxygen (O18) and hydrogen (H2) are used as proxies of past climates when ice preserved in the polar icecaps. The main assumption when doing paleoclimatic reconstructions using these isotopes is that the isotopic composition of the snow that turned into ice reflect the present temperature of the planet during deposition.
